Proficiency Essay Grades have always played a major role in whether the student is successful or not. Deciding whether one's moves on in life or has to fix/finish. If one does not make the right grades they can put their future at stake. But are grades necessary to have in education? Personally, I prefer letter grades because I am capable of viewing the what I have which allows me to know whether I should work harder in the class or keep doing what I am doing. Having grades gives a kinda comfort

As the number of student veterans continues to increase within the university system, it is imperative to examine both the similarities and the differences between student veterans and traditional students (students without military experience), and what effect those differences may have on student veterans’ ability to succeed. We surveyed thirty undergraduates at the University of Alaska Anchorage, assessing their grade point average, age, hours spent studying, and various other factors which we

GRADE CALCULATOR Grading is a standardized system in an area, region, town or country that is used to rank school going children depending on their efforts and results at school. The grading system can be expressed in four primary ways. It can either be in terms of letters whereby different letters represent one’s performance and these letters are assigned numeric values. For example, the best letter grade is an A with a numeric value of 4 while the worst grade is F with a numeric value of 0. It

Should Students’ Grades in Gym Class Affect Their GPA? I personally do not agree with grades in gym classes affecting students’ grade point averages. I believe that gym class should be strictly for fun. There are many students who are not very athletic. Many females do not enjoy playing sports or running a mile. I do not think it is fair that schools make their students run a full mile, time them on it, and grade them on their times. Certain students are not great runners and the fact that

Grade inflation, the idea that students are receiving grades that they have not worked for and therefore don’t deserve them. But what’s so wrong about grade inflation? When learning about this subject we also open the doors to learning about the multitude of other problems plaguing our educational system that could use our attention much more than grade inflation does. Through grade inflation we’re able to understand problems often forgotten about and looked over.     In the past colleges like Princeton

“Failure is simply the opportunity to begin again, this time more intelligently,” Henry Ford stated. Students need to learn to fail in life to eventually succeed. Standards Based Grading (SBG) was created by Thomas R. Guskey. The point of SBG is to focus on the most recent work the student displayed. Frankly, that concept is unrealistic. The reality is traditional grading provides a more effective means of showing student progress and engagement. Not only is traditional grading understood universally

Grade grubbing is also referred to as “grade lawyering” or “grade begging” but is defined as the act of a student attempting to ask, persuade or argue with a professor to raise their grade with no legitimate reason other than their own personal benefit or pride (“Why You Should Not Engage in Grade Grubbing,” n.d.). Grade grubbers, or students who partake in the action of grade grubbing, are found in education level and can range from low GPA to high GPA students (Warner, 2014). Since many people

This is my second year of college, but my first time away from home. I attended a community college in my hometown, and I transferred to Texas A&M- Corpus Christi with a 3.86 GPA. Last year, I made some big changes in my school habits and who I am as a student. I devoted a lot more time and focus to my school work because this schooling is a choice and not available to everyone; if I was going to do this, I was going to do the absolute best I could. So, starting that year I kept an eye on my grades
